Description
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘Epic in scope, its worldbuilding as intricate as filigree, The Final Strife sings of rebellion, love, and the courage it takes to stand up to tyranny’
Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
The empire is ruled by blood: red-blooded Embers, blue-blooded Dusters and clear-blooded Ghostings. All will be shed in the coming battle for power.
The Aktibar – a set of trials held every ten years to find the next Ember rulers of the Empire – is about to begin.
All Embers can join but it requires great skill to win.
Sylah was destined to become Warden of Strength, forged as a weapon to change the Empire from within. Those dreams of a better future turned to dust when her family were brutally murdered.
But Sylah wasn’t made to sparkle, she was born to burn. And as the trials draw near it’s time for her to decide…will she rule the Empire or destroy it?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Final Strife has been praised for its emotional depth, with a love triangle and an enemies-to-lovers storyline that captivates readers, according to the Huffington Post UK. Tasha Suri highlights the book as a triumph with a cast of endearing misfit characters, raw emotion, and no typical "Chosen Ones". Sue Lynn Tan describes it as an epic, gripping tale set in a divided world, featuring a gritty heroine. Andrea Stewart praises its fierce narrative and immersive setting, while Christina Sweeney-Baird commends its robust world-building and engaging characters. Kalynn Bayron hails it as a bold twist on epic fantasy, with vivid world-building and memorable characters. Taran Matharu simply calls it a "rip-roaring read".

About the Author
With a DNA profile that lights up like a satellite photograph of earth, Saara El-Arifi's heritage is intrinsically linked to the themes she explores in her writing.
She was raised in the Middle East until her formative years, when her family swapped the Abu Dhabi desert for the English Peak District hills. This change of climate had a significant impact on her growth—not physically, she’s nearly 6ft—and she learned what it was to be Black in a white world.
El-Arifi knew she was a storyteller from the moment she told her first lie. Though her stories have developed beyond the ramblings of a child, she still appreciates the thrill of a well-told tale.
THE FINAL STRIFE is Saara El-Arifi's debut novel, the first part of a trilogy inspired by Ghanaian folklore and Arabian myths.
